Low-temperature hydrogen production and consumption in partially-hydrated peridotites in Oman: implications for stimulated geological hydrogen production Open
The Samail Ophiolite in Oman, the largest exposed body of ultramafic rocks at the Earth’s surface, produces a continuous flux of hydrogen through low-temperature water/rock reactions. In turn, the scale of the subsurface microbial biospher…

Utility of Peridotite Host Rocks for Sequestering Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide Open
Weathering is a natural geological process whereby atmospheric CO2 dissolved in rainwater attacks rocks, partly dissolving them. The CO is converted into alkalinity or carbonate minerals that securely store carbon on timescales of >10,000 …

The response of borehole water levels in an ophiolitic, peridotite aquifer to atmospheric, solid Earth, and ocean tides Open
Peridotite aquifers are ubiquitous on Earth, but most are in the deep-sea, and thus difficult to access. Ophiolites provide a unique opportunity to study peridotite aquifers, and the Oman Drilling Project established a Multi-Borehole Obser…
